Keep in mind that Musk also has Starlink. His satellite array is not nearly finished yet but it could be made to function as a free-access backup internet in case the internet comes under attack.

I foresee the combination of Starlink and Twitter to become something heretofore unseen and undreamed of in capability. The Starlink system will have a shorter ping time than any terrestrial system once it links the sats using their lasers. It can also be made to operate with existing smartphones... directly to the satellites, no ground stations needed. Musk has a system of thousands of LEO satellites, all connected using lasers and with programmable SDR capabilities. The power of the system is awesome.

I expect Musk will have to move operations outside the US soon to avoid governmental red-tape and outright sabotage.

Well, he has already moved most of his operation to Texas. Is that close to being “outside the US”?

Smile.
